Remains of four Confederate soldiers and three amputated legs were quietly reinterred at Cedar Grove Cemetery in Williamsburg on Tuesday. The remains were discovered in 2023 near the Powder Magazine during archaeology by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation. Scientists are conducting DNA analysis but reburied the remains to avoid delays. The soldiers were likely casualties of the 1862 Battle of Williamsburg. Archaeology staff, the cemetery caretaker, and Army representatives attended the reburial.
